Sripada Yellampalli Project is an Irrigation project located at Yellampalli Village of Ramagundam rural Mandal, between Peddapalli district - Mancherial District of Telangana State, India. [1] [ citation needed ] The project is fourth largest on the Godavari River in Telangana State. It is named after late legislator, D. Sripada Rao. [2]
Sripada Yellampalli irrigation project foundation was laid by Former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Y. S. Rajasekhara Reddy on 28 July 2004.
The project is designed to utilize about 63 tmc of water at a cost of Rs. 900 crores in the first phase. In the second phase, about 49.5 tmc would be lifted to the upland regions of Karimnagar, Adilabad, Nizamabad, Warangal and Medak districts with 6 TMC water allotted for the NTPC Ramagundam project. [3] After the flood gates are installed, the project could would store about 20 Tmcft of water. [4]
The project operational requirement is 163 MW power and 469 million KWh of electrical energy annually to pump the water. The project would supply water for NTPC power project reservoir in Ramagundam Mandal in Karimnagar old district (Peddapalli district). [5] It commenced its operations in 2005 near Mamnoor and Yellampalli villages at Ramagundam and mainly supplies drinking water to Ramagundam, Godavarikhani cities and Hyderabad Capital city.

In the year 2016, this project is divided into two parts. The scheme with diversion canal from the Thammmidihatti barrage to connect to existing Yellampalli reservoir across the Godavari River is presently called Pranahita barrage lift irrigation project. This scheme is confined to providing irrigation facility to nearly 2,00,000 acres in Adilabad district using 44 tmcft water.
